A Changing Artifact

Chapter 1

A Newcomer's Other Quest

Percy's P.O.V

"Percy, Percy" someone familiar spoke.

Annabeth. I woke up instantly. I ran to my cabin door and opened it. I was right it was Annabeth in her battle armor and two swords in her hands.

"Another short and easy quest" said Annabeth sarcastically and just as she said it she looked down.

I had worn my rubber ducky PJ's last night.

"Seaweed brain, I can't take you seriously in those." said Annabeth.

"Ok" I said while pulling down my pants.

I had worn my rubber ducky boxers, too.

Annabeth stood frozen, but later said "This reminds me of a show I watched yesterday on nick. Uhh what am I saying but on a pair of jeans and a shirt and lets go".

Just then I heard Grover singing "I want candy, dada da dada, I want candy".

" Uhh" Annabeth and I said at the same time.

"Is he coming, too" I asked Annabeth.

"Sadly, yes. Uhh you're still in your boxers. Put on pants!" Annabeth responded.

"K, don't have to be so mean" I said.

I changed into my jeans and a blue shirt my mom got me last Christmas. I ran out the door. I forgot my converse.

"Percy, your gonna make us late" Annabeth said.

"Don't worry I'll be quick" I responded.

I picked up my old blue converses (that were now purple 'because Grover dropped them in grape fruit juice) and headed for Annabeth and Grover.

"So, what's the quest" I asked.

"We have to retrieve an old sacred amethyst from a statue of Athena in Greece" she answered worriedly.

"Oh, in two weeks." she continued.

"We can do that" Grover said. He looked kind of woozy.

He ate candy. He gets a woozy reaction when he eats candy.

"You sure we have to take him" I asked.

"He's your protector." Annabeth replied.

"This is gonna be a long trip" said Percy.

Since we can't take a plane because Uncle Zeus still pretty much hates me. We have to travel daddy's way: by boat (which I like better). It took three days since we took a speed boat and I am the son of the sea god. When we docked at Greece the worse came to worse. Something happened. Between the Gods. The sky turned and the ocean swayed faster and faster by the second. It was the amethyst. Another Artifact destroyed, stolen, or disappeared.
